eDP panels generally contain almost everything needed to control them in their EDID. This comes from their DP heritage were a computer needs to be able to properly control pretty much any DP display that's plugged into it. The one big issue with eDP panels and the reason that we need a panel driver for them is that the power sequencing can be different per panel. While it is true that eDP panel sequencing can be arbitrarily complex, in practice it turns out that many eDP panels are compatible with just some slightly different delays. See the contents of the bindings file introduced in this patch for some details. The fact that eDP panels are 99% probable and that the power sequencing (especially power up) can be compatible between many panels means that there's a constant desire to plug multiple different panels into the same board. This could be for second sourcing purposes or to support multiple SKUs (maybe a 11" and a 13", for instance). As discussed [1], it should be OK to support this by adding two properties to the device tree to specify the delays needed for powering up the panel the first time. We'll create a new "edp-panel" bindings file and define the two delays that might need to be specified. NOTE: in the vast majority of the cases (HPD is hooked up and isn't glitchy or is debounced) even these delays aren't needed.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
